Hi,
The other day I was playing with this to make a convenient string version of a
named tuple:
>>> from collections import namedtuple as nt
>>> Record = nt("Record", "x y z")
>>> Record.__str__ = lambda self: "| %s |" % " | ".join([item + ": " +
>>> str(getattr(self, item)) for item in self._fields])
>>> str(Record(1, 2, 3))
'| x: 1 | y: 2 | z: 3 |'
Then, after reading another discussion on the main Python list
(https://www.mail-archive.com/python-list@python.org/msg409771.html) I realized
I could do the same thing with a displayhook.
When would I (re)implement __str__, and when would I redefine sys.displayhook?
Does the displayhook also affect the way things are logged (with the ' logging'
module)? It feels like sys.displayhook is more " heavy artillery",. but I
might be wrong about that.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Best wishes,
Albert-Jan
